I started a new painting this afternoon. Gordon and I hiked to Steelhead Falls on the Crooked River a couple of weeks ago. I've never painted a waterfall before so this is a real challenge. This oil painting will be 16x20 inches and I'm using one of my photos of the site. I've just laid in a very thin "solvent wash" to get the main shapes and values. Tomorrow I'll start with thicker paint. Today was the easy part!
